Using the GlassFish ESB Installation CLI

Generating the State File for Silent Installations

In order to run a custom silent command line installation, you must first generate a state file that stores all of the user-defined installation configuration parameters. This step also performs a default installation. To perform a default installation without generating a state file, skip to Installing GlassFish ESB Silently Using Default Settings

Note –

If you want to skip this step, you can download a sample state file that you can customize and use for a custom installation. Sample files are available for multiple operating systems. You can download the files from http://wiki.open-esb.java.net/Wiki.jsp?page=Inst_cli_statefile_t.txt.

To Generate the State File for Silent Installations

Download the installation executable file for your platform from https://open-esb.dev.java.net/Downloads.html.

Navigate to the location of the file.

Run the file from the command line with the --silent and --record options, specifying where you want to save the state file.

For example:

glassfishesb-v2.1-full-installer-solaris-sparc.sh --silent --record /home/glassfishesb/state.xml

Note –
A log file is generated in your home directory under /.glassfishesb-v2.1-full-installer-hostname_date/log so you can track the progress of the installation. For Windows, this file is located in \Documents and Settings\user_name.

When the installer is finished, run the GlassFish ESB uninstaller

and remove the GUI installation.

Note –
For detailed information about running the GlassFish ESB uninstaller, see Uninstalling GlassFish ESB.

Using a text editor or XML editor, open the state file and modify the installation properties to correspond to your custom requirements.

Ensure that items such as user names, passwords, directories, and so on are correct. You can view a sample state file following these instructions.

Save any changes, and close the state file.

After creating the state file, note the file location and name, and then continue to Installing GlassFish ESB Silently Using Custom Settings.
